Addiction to smoking is a subtle form of captivity, chaining habits to moments, emotions, and routines
Along that entire spectrum are various behavioral therapies, support groups, and the use of medically-assisted treatment (MAT)
These include behavioral counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, prescription medications, support groups, and mobile applications designed to assist smokers through their quitting journey
Ellen Breen, the lead investigator commented on the study: It is vitally important that we show people that the use of tobacco cigarettes has harmful consequences throughout the body, including large muscle groups needed for daily living, and develop strategies to stop the damage triggered by the detrimental components of cigarette smoke.
